Your final task consists of integrating the challenges from 3 different modules;

• Weave a related motive (IVN) through the font and self-portrait. This motive should convey a narrative or theme that reflects your personal or artistic identity.
• Experiment with typography and layout to integrate the motive seamlessly with your font and self-portrait.
• Ensure the visual narrative created supports the overall message of your poster.

In your final task, you will bring together the knowledge and skills acquired from three different modules: Typography, Illustration & Visual Narrative, and Digital Imaging & Photography. Your goal is to create an integrated poster that showcases your abilities in each of these areas. You will use a custom font you've created (Typo), incorporate a self-portrait (DIP), and weave a related motive (IVN) through the font and image, resulting in a visually compelling and conceptually rich poster.Typography; Illustration & Visual Narrative; and Digital Imaging & Photography. 

You will use the font created (Typo) in a poster that features your self-portrait (DIP), and you will weave a related motive (IVN) through the font and image.

The end result is an integrated poster

INSTRUCTION

COURSE

I am a person who likes fantasy, fantasy is a very wonderful process for me, I can immerse myself in my own world and not be disturbed, so the theme of this assignment I decided to focus on fantasy.

Because I don't have a picture of myself, I can't draw a sketch based on my picture, so I draw a draft before I take a picture.

When I drew this draft, I already had a general direction in my mind. I recalled some experiences when I was a child. I would ask my parents why people could not fly and why the age of candy could not fall from the sky. These are my childhood fantasies, so I decided to use these materials.

I took a picture of myself, which looks different from the action on my sketch (the action on the sketch is a bit exaggerated), which is very much like what I do when I think. At the same time, such a picture reminds me of a very interesting sentence, sometimes I really want to pry open your head to see what you are thinking.

I used what I had learned in ivn class to separate my hat from my head with art knife tools, and cast a shadow on the section of the disease, which I was sure would make my picture more interesting.

Next, I'm going to use the font design methods I learned in the Typography course to design a font for this poster. The picture shows the letters I used and their final representation. I named the font FUDGE.

I used these words as the text part of my whole poster, and because the picture was too narrow for my font, I stretched them longitudinally to fit the size of the canvas so as not to make the picture look strange.

This is what the whole poster looks like. In the middle, I used the knowledge of the DPI course to adjust the brightness of the cloud, but unfortunately my computer screenshot was not saved successfully.
